During your Chicago vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
The Smart Museum of Art
The University of Chicago's fine arts museum looks rather modest, but it packs a lot of talent into a compact space. Its permanent collection of more than 7,000 paintings and sculptures spans Western and Eastern civilizations and ranges from classical antiquity to the present day. Bona fide treasures include ancient Greek vases, Chinese bronzes, and Old Master paintings; Frank Lloyd Wright furniture; Tiffany glass; sculptures by Degas, Matisse, and Rodin; and 20th-century paintings and sculptures by Mark Rothko, Arthur Dove, Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, Henry Moore, and Chicago sculptor Richard Hunt. Built in 1974, the contemporary building doesn't really fit in with the Gothic style of other campus buildings, but its sculpture garden and outdoor seating area make a nice place for quiet contemplation. The museum also has a gift shop and cafe. Allow 1 hour.
Polish Museum of America
One million people of Polish ancestry live in Chicago, giving the city the largest Polish population outside of Warsaw. So it's no surprise that Chicago is the site of the Polish Museum of America, located in the neighborhood where many of the first immigrants settled. The museum has one of the most important collections of Polish art and historical materials outside Poland (it is also the largest museum in the United States devoted exclusively to an ethnic group). The museum's programs include rotating exhibitions, films, lectures, and concerts, and a permanent exhibit about Pope John Paul II. There is also a library with a large Polish-language collection, and archives where visitors can research genealogical history (call in advance if you want to look through those records). Allow a half-hour.
Chicago Children's Museum
Since the Chicago Children's Museum moved to Navy Pier in 1996, it has become one of the most popular cultural attractions in the city. The museum has areas especially for preschoolers as well as for children up to age 10, and several permanent exhibits allow kids a maximum of hands-on fun. Dinosaur Expedition re-creates an expedition to the Sahara, allowing kids to experience camp life, conduct scientific research, and dig for the bones of Suchomimus, a Saharan dinosaur discovered by Chicago paleontologist Paul Sereno (a full-scale model stands nearby). Face to Face: Dealing with Prejudice and Discrimination is a multimedia display that helps kids identify prejudice and find ways to deal with it. There's also a three-level schooner that children can board for a little climbing, from the crow's nest to the gangplank; PlayMaze, a toddler-scale cityscape with everything from a gas station to a city bus that children under 5 can touch and explore; and an arts-and-crafts area where visitors can create original artwork to take home. Allow 2 to 3 hours.

My review of Ramada Plaza Chicago O'Hare
Anonymous
The room was small enough to give a "fenced In" feeling. We asked for but did not receive wash cloths in the bathroom. The staff was friendly, the location good, the resturaunt was o.k. with very nice surroundings. Parking was good.
Good value for price

Buy the day pass for $5 and you can use the train and downtown busses which run often enough to get around town.
Hotel is close to the Blue Line train and nearby shopping for little things. Had enclosed parking which was nice.

Hotel remarks
Michiko, Denver, CO, 2006-05-11
The receceptionist was somewhat aloof and was not sensitive to our needs . The room was adequate...We just had gotten in to Ohare from an all day trip from Malta...Twenty hours since we left Malta. Our previous experiences we had with the Ramada were accomodated for circumstance as ours.

The restaurant I went to was nice and clean and the food was great
Distance from city
Anonymous, Providence, RI, 2006-03-12
Buy a CTA pass for the amount of days that you will be taking public transportation. And have cab fare on hand.
The Ramada was comfortable, the room was clean and the staff was freindly. We did have to wait a few minute for our room once we got there. If you don't mind long train rides into the city and quite a walk to the train station from the hotel then stay here, if you want to be close to downtown this is not the hotel for you.
Ideal location

Take the train downtown and to get around, it is cheap ($5 a day for an all day pass, and they have multi-day passes too) and you don't have to spend hrs in traffic.
The Ramada Plaza O'Haire provided the ideal location for access to both the Downtown Chicago area and the Chicago O'Haire airport as well. I especially liked the fact that the train station was right across the street and provided a convenient, affordable and easy mode of transportation not only to the airport, but to downtown as well. The hotel staff was very courteous in recomending restaurants and entertainment downtown, as well as instructions on how to get there off the train lines. The hotel room, while small, was always clean and was a great place to relax and catch up on rest.
Great business amenities
